THAT SAID, they had this sticker:



Hard to decipher, crappy camera but that’s a Weyland-Yutani sticker.

The driver is obviously an Alien and Aliens fan, that’s the name and logo of “The Company” in those films. Every Alien film after the 2nd one was a disgrace, I bet this owner would agree.
Haha. Yup it’s free country I don’t know why anyone would do that. Makes no sense

Let me tell ya'li something, pics do this color no justice at all.

This color is as bright and vivid orange in the sunlight as I have ever seen. A huge big orange! haha

My step son has an older Tundra and I swear this truck looks so much bigger than older models even without being lifted.
I got home to post up the pics and saw Bit posted the same truck(I think it's same) so I didn't post it but I'll go ahead and post anyway so ya'll can see another 'Big Orange' AGAIN. lol

Saw something totally rare yesterday. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. A first gen GS. I don't think I ever saw one in person, at least that I could remember. I would have taken a picture of it, but I don't think the person sitting in their car would have liked it.

Looked nice though. The rear was pretty unique looking. It looked considerably bigger than the second gen.

Looks good, but note that the truck bit posted is a Tacoma, not a Tundra as in your photos.

I'm seeing new Tundras ALL OVER THE PLACE. They look as good as any truck on the road, maybe better. Too bad it's gotten so much (consistent) negative press. I would cross it off my list after reading the road tests, etc. were I in the market for a new truck.

Saw a BMW XM the other day for the first time and I just laughed. Imagine paying 160k for this... Truly one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen - on the same level as a Pontiac Aztek.

It does make me feel a little creepy when I like to get a car pic but someone is still inside.
Sometimes I just waved and gave a thumbs up and said I haven't seen one of these cars in so long can I make a pic?

People have always been super nice and said yes!

Thank you JDR.
I'm a little slow. lol

Had my wife text the kids and my step son drives a Tacoma and not a Tundra.
Duh, no wonder it looks so much smaller.
PS- good catch my friend.

I haven't seen many new ones.
'Big Orange' ones are really hard to miss tho. lol

Did you notice how that Tundra takes up more than the parking space?
It seemed to be much bigger to me when I was up close, compared to what I seen in pics.

What the heck is that???

It better have some Gold Plating all over the inside and maybe a splash of Rubys and Sapphires or something exotic to get to that price.

to me that orange taco looked WAY nicer than the orange tundra. i just can't stand the new tundra's side profile (or the front ).

Congratulations to your daughter on the new RAV-4 ....but I would hardly call it a truck. It is a classic compact unibody crossover...arguably the best-selling vehicle in the world right now, so your daughter certainly is not alone.

Point of fact, the Rav4 is inarguably the fourth best-selling vehicle in the world right now.

What ya'll think of the color?

I like the blue and like it better if it has some metallic in it.
